I have bad Anderson gas.
I am thinking of ordering a drop top classic but it's going to be big money, feed my gas with pictures etc :D
-
Big Anderson and Suhr GAS here.
Even bigger TYLER GAS ...

There's a coool used Tyler Tele thing near me 8)

Any one know how much difference the hollow/solid thing makes to the overall tone.
I have heard the solids have more punch and are better under lots of gain / in a band situation but I am trying to put it into context. I mean, if it's the order of magnitude like rosewood / maple fingerboards it wouldn't bother me but if it is indeed a large tangible difference I will have to go solid. The DT classic does already has a fair bit of routing under the pickguard though.
The reason I am asking is I have seen a Hollow DT classic with exactly the specs I want, the only thing stopping me is the hollow bit. I do use quite a big of gain, think alterbridge levels.
-
based on what i've tried, the chambered thing does seem to add a little semi-hollow character, little more sweetness and less tightness which works well for lower gain stuff. but whether that's the chambering or just differences in wood from guitar to guitar, i dunno...
personally, i'd go solid if it were going to be used for "quite a bit of gain". though if you can try a bunch of different guitars to compare them, then that's the best thing to do.
EDIT: i should add, i haven't been able to try an anderson, that's based on the guitars i have tried which have been chambered, suhr and the like, and also some of the newer gibsons. it's possible that anderson chambering is different from those companies' takes on it. :)

Friend has a Classic (think sunburst Strat) - beautifully made guitar and very sweet in the hands - can't comment on amplified sounds as I have only tried it 'unplugged' - he rarely plays it as he prefers his JV Strat

Oh no.... no details please ....
.... DETAILS PLEASE!!!

There's one in my local shop that used to be sound control, it's next to a bunch of Vigers on the wall. It's a shame they'll probably only let me play them over their dead bodies.

bring someone old with you, a relative or something. it's worth it to get to try it (the vigiers too). :)
EDIT: wow, just checked the link, £1799 s/h? i've only tried one tyler, and it was amazing, but they are pretty pricey... :(

I own a Hollow T drop top...killer axe!!!!!!!!!will describe the hollow nature of mine...I play through Mesa Mk II C + amps, which are capable of loads of gain-I prefer low to mid gain settings,esp. with this axe-first of all, the pickups-Very important here..the Anderson pups are GOOD-my T has a vintage hot wind in the bridge..so I do not know how a hotter pup would do,but with a good amount of volume and a fair amount of gain(8 on a C+ is a ton of gain..I am talking half of that..), I get the most amazing ,controllable feedback-ITS LIKE HAVING A SUSTAINER-unbelievable...but as far as chugging it out max gain,well, this isnt the deal for that-I would grab a Paul if I wanted to go chuggachuggachugga...but for sweet,headturning,boutique TONE..hellyeah-very versatile for cleans and mid gain rock-not a metal guitar(body is basswood...hell, this is a tele anyway.!)
there is a Tom Anderson messageboard that could prob. help in all things HOLLOW....keep me posted :)

Indeed! Cheaper than a new Anderson though, it's in practically mint condition bar some pick scratches on the guard.
-
yeah. :)

I knew better than to play it 8) :shock:

I was looking at that thinking why the f*ck would they call it a Mongoose... but then I rembered Anderson has a T-type called a Cobra....
-
I have a friend who has a couple. They play magnificently.
-
I am leaning towards the Suhr S4 at the moment,
The quote I got for the Anderson was £3200 (sodding £).
I just don't think I could bring myself to spend that ammount on a guitar, the S4's are 90% there for 1/2 the price
